Still with the help of the most common procedure which is applicable to the use of almost all the fax machines we will learn how to use a fax machine.

  • Always ensure to put a cover sheet on the documents you are sending through fax. Also write the name of the person to whom you want to receive the fax at the other end.
  • Next keep all the documents to be faxed ready with you to avoid hassles after the phone is connected.

  • If you are using an automatic machine keep the documents to be faxed in a proper order in the fax tray. Ensure that the documents are faced up in the tray.
  • Dial the area code and the phone number where you have to send the fax. After the connection is made the machine automatically starts sending the pages. If this fails to happen press the send button manually.
